Activity 1

Who's My Customer?
Break up into groups from Thursday. You will be creating an advertisement to sell your product or service to a specific demographic group. Using pipe cleaners you will fashion them into an object that represents your product or service. You will have 8 minutes to design your pipe cleaner product and prepare your presentation. Here are the rules:
  • The product or service must be legal for people 18 years old and under.
  • The advertisement can be a TV or radio commercial, or a billboard or pint advertisement.
  • Presentations will be judged based on how well each group demonstrates which demographic group is being targeted and which need(s) is being met by the product.
  • The advertisement must be at least 30 seconds and no longer than 1 minute.

When you present your advertisements that will be videotaped and we will vote on the best one that met the objectives.
